One of the priority tasks in the process of teaching a child is the formation of grammatically correct, phonetically clear speech and, of course, the development of a rich vocabulary. The most important indicator that is taken into account when identifying a child’s readiness for school is correct speech. This is the key to successful literacy and reading. It is necessary to pay due attention to the upbringing and instilling of correct speech in preschool age. A child should develop literate speech from middle preschool age (4–5 years).

At the present stage of preschool education, gaming technologies are very successful among teachers, especially in the development of speech in preschoolers. The choice of these technologies is based on the fact that in preschool age play is the leading activity.

Psychological and pedagogical research has proven that play has a positive impact on the development and learning process of children. Thanks to the use of gaming technologies in the work on developing the speech of preschoolers, the learning process becomes more entertaining and interesting, and therefore more effective.

A game is a type of activity in situations that are aimed at recreating and assimilating social experience in which self-control of behavior is formed and improved. The functions that the game performs are: entertaining, diagnostic, communicative, therapeutic, self-realization function, correction function, socialization function.

Modern gaming technologies in speech development include a large group of methods and techniques for organizing the pedagogical process in the form of various pedagogical games. The most favorable period for the application and use of gaming technologies in the learning process is preschool age. Gaming technologies include: didactic games, theatrical games, finger games, game techniques for memorizing poems, game techniques for the development of speech sound culture (SCR), games and exercises for the pronunciation of hissing sounds.

Let's take a closer look at each category of games.

Didactic games. They are the main type of games that the teacher uses in speech development work. A didactic game is a verbose, complex, pedagogical phenomenon: it is a gaming method of teaching preschool children, a form of teaching children, an independent play activity, and a means of comprehensive education of a child. There are several types of didactic games: games with visual material, word games, games with objects, board-printed games, special vocabulary exercises.

Most of the tasks of speech development of preschoolers are realized through theatrical play. Theatrical games are divided into two main groups: director's games and dramatization games.

In the game - dramatization, the child plays the role of an “artist”, accordingly, he himself comes up with an image using a set of means of verbal and non-verbal expressiveness. Verbal means of expression primarily include speech, and non-verbal means include gestures, facial expressions and pantomime. There are several types of dramatization: games - imitations of images of animals, people, heroes of literary works, role-playing dialogues based on text, dramatization of a literary work, staging a performance based on a work, games - improvisations in which the plot is played out without prior preparation .

In director's play, the main roles are played by toys, and the preschooler organizes the activity as a director. Using various means of expression, he voices his characters and pronounces out loud the actions performed with them. Depending on the theater used, the type of director's acting is determined accordingly. The following types of theater are used: tabletop, flat, finger, bibabo, puppet theater, toy theater, shadow theater, etc.

One of the effective means of switching a preschooler from one type of activity to another is finger games. Pronouncing poems accompanied by hand movements makes children's speech more rhythmic, clear, and emotional. For example:

A thick and large finger went into the garden to pick plums (we walk with the index and middle fingers).

A pointer from the threshold showed him the way.

The middle finger is the most accurate!

He knocks the plums off the branch (we make a movement as if we were knocking them down).

The nameless one collects,

And the little finger is gentleman

He plants seeds in the ground (we knock on the table with our little finger).

Game techniques for memorizing poems. When telling a poem, the child reproduces the plot using words, facial expressions and gestures. When learning various children's nursery rhymes and jokes, the child learns not only to pronounce sounds correctly, but also to depict the movements of the characters.

Game techniques in the development of speech sound culture (SCR). The sound culture of speech develops thanks to the clear pronunciation of pure tongue twisters and tongue twisters. When pronouncing tongue twisters, the child has the opportunity to change the strength of his voice, intonation, which can indicate surprise, question or fear.

Games and exercises for pronunciation of hissing sounds . The teacher, having looked at the pictures with the children, for example, “Hedgehog and Hedgehogs,” offers to complete the task: clearly pronounce phrases with the sounds “Sh” and “F” (“Sha-sha-sha - we are bathing the baby; shu-shu-shu - I’ll give you a mushroom baby; shi-shi-shi - where do the kids walk? or: zha-zha-zha - we saw a hedgehog; zhu-zhu-zhu - we will give the fungus to the hedgehog; zhi-zhi-zhi - where do hedgehogs get mushrooms?"). Thanks to this exercise, a preschooler masters the intonation of a question and develops a sense of rhythm. When isolating a sound when a child clearly pronounces a word or phrase, he gradually becomes familiar with the terms “sound” and “word.”

We have created and developed a didactic manual, which is a felt book “Development”. It can be used in work on speech development with children of early and preschool age. Each page has its own color (the colors of the rainbow are taken as a basis; the pages contain objects sewn from felt that correspond to a given color, for example, red: tomato, strawberry, ladybug, etc., green: frog, grass, apple, etc. etc. With the help of this manual, the child has the opportunity to get acquainted with the primary colors, the colors of the rainbow, consolidate knowledge and color. When getting acquainted with a certain color, the child will learn what objects are of the same color. The main advantage of this book is that in In the process of learning with its help, the child develops speech, he learns to construct sentences, his vocabulary is enriched, and fine motor skills of his hands also develop, since each object that is presented in the book has the ability to transform, “move” from one page to another with using special rivets.

We can conclude that the development of speech through game forms of activity gives great results. All children are active; this process activates mental activity, enriches vocabulary, compares objects by characteristics and properties, and systematizes accumulated knowledge.

Pedagogical council on speech development in preschool educational institutions using innovative technologies

During the meeting, tasks for speech development are developed taking into account the standards of the Federal State Educational Standard. The main topic discussed by the teachers' council is the speech development of children through gaming technologies in preschool educational institutions.

Teachers' council in kindergarten

Important! The task of the meeting of teachers is to identify existing problems and find methods for solving them.

Scenario of the teachers' council "The use of innovative technologies in educational activities on the speech development of preschool children in the context of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education"

Before the new academic year begins at a preschool educational institution, educators and teachers hold an event during which the direction for further educational work is determined. The script should be printed in advance so as not to miss important points.

Progress of the meeting:

Introduction and general word from the teacher about the development of speech in children attending kindergarten.
Analytical report on the results of the last working year.
What methods and forms of control are used in the institution.
Making proposals to improve the situation.

Additional Information! The result of the teachers' council should be clear, well-developed proposals, including methods for developing coherent speech in preschoolers, calendar planning and work with parents.

Opening speech “We work according to the Federal State Educational Standard for Education”

At the very beginning of the event, one of the organizers makes an introductory speech, the main purpose of which is to identify the problem that needs to be solved.

Example introduction:

“I would really like to start with the words of Dear L.S. Vygotsky: “...the intellectual development of a child and the formation of his character largely depends on the formation of speech...” We work according to the Federal State Educational Standard for Educational Education, and now our main task is to draw up a structured, competent plan for working with children.”

Teacher's speech at the council

Lecture using a presentation about the additional professional program “Speech development of preschool children”

Children's education is a modern and innovative project that is in the process of being finalized and finding better solutions. The main task of teachers, after listening to a lecture, is to create a program, using which you can develop the speech of preschoolers.

Contents of the lecture and presentation:

main provisions of the education program at preschool educational institutions: communicative games, goals and objectives, proposals;
information on sensor-graphics technology;
results of the meeting.

All data presented is supported by video files in the presentation.

Practical recommendations for using the technology of sensory-graphic schemes when constructing speech utterances in preschool children

The main problem to be solved at the council is how to use sensory-graphic circuits. A developed child needs additional education, just as an underdeveloped child needs to improve his skills. Modern technologies will help you with this.

Touch-graphic schemes

Principle of using schemes:

all types of memory are involved: visual, auditory;
after reading the text, select several important landmarks from it;
a diagram is created;
With the help of drawings, the child retells the text.

Lessons on making hissing sounds for preschool children

During classes, the preschooler's syllable improves, he learns to better express his thoughts, and his speech becomes coherent and clear.

Acceptance or non-acceptance of methods by the teaching staff

A modern kindergarten carries out educational activities in accordance with the standards of the Federal State Educational Standard, however, when the council is held, teachers can vote “for” or “against” some innovations.

Important! The decision is made by a majority vote.

Speech development tasks for preschoolers

When improving the speech skills of children 6-7 years old, the use of modern technologies is allowed. However, most often standard tasks are used to correct sounds and improve pronunciation:

Similar sound. The teacher says a word, for example, “heron,” and the child looks for similar words starting with “ts.”
Guess the word. The teacher says: What travels on the ground and begins with the letter T and ends with S?
Purpose of the item. What do they do on the chair? They are sitting. And at the table? Are eating.

Each preschool educational institution has a card index with standard tasks.

Development of the lexical and grammatical structure of speech

Preparing a child for school includes the formation of grammatical and lexical speech structure. The teaching council decides which exercises are best used for this.

During classes using a modern method of educating children aged 5-6 years, attention is paid to the child’s ability to select synonyms and antonyms for words, to clearly express their thoughts, supporting words with images.

Formation of the lexico-grammatical structure of speech in preschool children

The educational process in kindergarten begins for children 3-4 years old, but more attention is paid to grammar in groups 4-5 years old and older.

The work structure is as follows:

vocabulary - changing words;
word formation;
inflection.

A child's understanding of speech alone is not enough for the correct use of vocabulary. There comes an age when children must grasp the meaning and connections between words and sentences.

Development of lexical and grammatical structure of speech in preschool children

Teachers note the relevance of speech development in children with developmental disabilities, who need more time to begin to connect words and sentences with meaning. By the age of 4, the word norm is 2000.

Important! To develop speech, the teacher uses educational material on the topics: “dishes”, “transport”, “clothing”, “animals”, “body parts”, “insects”, “birds”.

Setting the T sound

Cards for speech development

Activities in kindergarten are based on play, when learning about the world around us occurs while walking, using cards.

Development of speech breathing using game exercises

The junior and senior groups in kindergarten perform the following exercises to develop breathing:

blowing paper butterflies on a rope;
exhale slowly onto leaves collected in the park;
sweeping - the child blows on a paper broom.

The preschool period is characterized by the fact that the child may become dizzy when actively performing breathing exercises, so you need to act gradually.

Intonation expressiveness of speech of preschool children

The development of intonation expressiveness of speech occurs during group lessons. The child must be able to:

slow down and speed up speech;
highlight certain words with your voice;
speak more quietly to pay attention to individual words.

Such skills are acquired only with practice and by completing tasks proposed by the teacher.
